Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 8 slices bacon (thin slices)
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 8 pieces buns (optional)
- 16 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 375°F). If using an oven, preheat it to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly mixed.
Lay a slice of bacon flat on a cutting board. Sprinkle it lightly with the brown sugar mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Wrap each hot dog tightly with a slice of seasoned bacon, starting at one end and overlapping as you go. Use two toothpicks to secure both ends of the bacon in place.
Brush each bacon-wrapped hot dog lightly with BBQ sauce, reserving the rest for basting later.
Place the wrapped hot dogs on the preheated grill or prepared baking sheet. If grilling, ensure they are placed crosswise to the grates to avoid sticking and rolling.
Cook for 18-20 minutes, turning the hot dogs every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. Baste with BBQ sauce during the final 5 minutes of cooking.
Once the bacon is crisp and caramelized, remove the hot dogs from the heat and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Serve in buns (optional) with additional BBQ sauce or your favorite toppings like diced onions, shredded cheese, or pickles.
